A Message from the Outgoing QUADS Chairman

For anyone who may be thinking about becoming a chairman, but is still a bit undecided, then I hope that my experience will help in persuading you to seriously consider putting yourself forward. It is not as onerous as it sounds, especially when you have a great team of officers (i.e. secretary and treasurer) and a strong team of committee members behind you.

The main role of the chairman, as I see it, is to provide a clear vision of where the society is headed and to ensure that the goals associated with that vision are met.

The chairman also, leads the committee meetings which are held every 5 or 6 weeks and provides a focus for any discussions which may need to be had with other interested parties such as the Village Hall Committee.

This role is not time consuming and can be extremely rewarding, especially when the productions, and other events, have been successful.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as chairman and would encourage you to seriously consider the contribution that you can make to the society.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch, if you want more information (01332 840518).

Regards
Marilyn Pendlebury

QUADS Quiz Night Results

April saw the return of the famous QUADS Quiz Night/Fish and Chip Supper fundraiser organised by Debs. This was an outstanding success with a great turnout. The closely-fought contest between a mixture of QUADS and non-QUADS teams was finally won by "Clapped Out" from Darley Abbey. We hope to have another quiz night in the autumn, further details to follow later in the year.
 

See you soon!
